"This all-day coffee and wine bar opens at 8am, and that’s when bar staff are happy to pour a glass of chilled chenin blanc. Larakin sits on a luxury condo-filled stretch of 12th Street, so expect the morning crowd to be a mix of locals grabbing coffee (or a drink) and pet owners stopping in for chai lattes before a walk through Piedmont Park. The entirely outdoor setting feels unrushed, so you can slowly work through your bottle of red and maybe find the capacity to finally finish the Atomic Habits book your friend lent you a year ago." - jacinta howard, juli horsford, nina reeder
